What colour space should I use?

Using the right colour space will help you get a consistent result for your prints

We can print any colour space but we're recommend using the colour space that you shot your images in. 

So whatever you have your camera set up in e.g. Adobe RGB, then ideally you would edit your files in Adobe RGB and we can print them in that colour space.

But, the long and short of it is either sRGB or Adobe RGB is fine.

(Adobe RGB Colour Space has a larger colour gamut than sRGB see above)

We can ultimately print ANY colour space but the results will vary as some colour spaces e.g. ProPhoto Colour space is so large that there are no monitors that can accurately display it and no printers that can accurately print it due to the massive gamut of the colour space.

You should also calibrate your monitor for more consistent colour accuracy from what you see on your monitor to what you get back in print.
